Did m/cyclists steal the SMIDSY acronym from cyclists, or was it
vice versa?

Wot does SMIDSY meen?


The acronym is used by motorcyclists and cyclists in reference to
traffic collisions in which the driver of a car or larger vehicle
claims not to have noticed a two-wheel biker. It is usually
derogatory, in that the claim is often that the driver was not at
fault (when he/she patently was).

'Sorry Mate I Didn't See You'.

First time I've ever seen it. But, I'm not a cyclist.

If you were a cyclist, you would definitely find out quickly.


All cyclists and motorcyclists know it full well from experience.
Many car drivers just seem to be blind to two wheeled vehicles.
I've had many instance myself when cycling, from cars just pulling out
of side roads and obviously totally oblivious to my presence.

I used to have a bicycle when I was a kid, then I grew up.
Anyway, how are you both? Not here, you have my email address.
